2 Chronicles 24:20 Then the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood above the people, and said to them, “Thus says God, ‘Why do you break the commandments of the Lord, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the Lord, he has forsaken you.’”
Scripture has some interesting verbs for the Holy Spirit's activities. He hovers, He speaks, He rushes, and here He "clothed" a priest. People looking on the outside could see the presence of the Spirit inside, as God used him to speak the truth for God. Our words and actions should agree. As those who profess to follow Christ, we have the Spirit dwelling within, and those around us should be able to look and listen and recognize that, as if we have clothes that say "filled with the Spirit."
